What happened
During ground operations at Bombay Airport, an aircraft was undergoing taxiing procedures when the undercarriage unexpectedly retracted. The mechanical failure occurred while the plane was still on the ground, leading to significant damage to the airframe.
As a result of the gear retraction during the taxi phase, the aircraft sustained heavy damage and was subsequently declared a total loss. There were no reports of zero injuries among the occupants present on board during the incident.
Findings
The specific reason for the sudden retraction of the landing gear remains undetermined, as the cause for the gear movement was not identified following the event.
